Adjusting the screen and desktop settings

Tips & Tricks

If you are using an external monitor, you

can adjust the screen settings for

brightness, contrast, and horizontal and

vertical image position using the controls

on the front of your monitor. For more

information about these adjustments,

see your monitor guide.

Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display
settings you may need to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen
background and screen saver.

Adjusting the color depth

Help and Support

For more information about adjusting

display settings, click

Start

, then click

Help and Support

. Type the keyword

changing display settings

in the

Search

box, then click the arrow.

Color depth

is the number of colors your screen displays. Various image types

require various color depths for optimum appearance. For example, simple color
drawings may appear adequately in 256 colors while color photographs need
millions of colors to be displayed with optimum quality.

Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings. We recommend that
you use the 32-bit True Color setting at all times.

If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have
played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting
and return it to 32-bit True Color, if necessary.

To change the color depth:

1

Right-click any empty space on the desktop, then click

Properties

. The

Display Properties

dialog box opens.

2

Click the

Settings

tab.

3

Click the arrow button to open the

Color quality

list, then click the color

depth you want.

4

Click

OK

, then click

Yes

.
